How to Get a PMP in Ireland: A Complete Guide for Foreigners

Permanent Residency (PR) in Ireland is the next logical step for those who are already legally residing and working in the country. If you have a work permit or other type of visa, you can apply for an Ireland PR after work permit by obtaining long-term resident status or Stamp 4. In this article, we will look at the key stages, requirements and options for assistance from lawyers.

Basic requirements for permanent residency in Ireland

To apply for a PMP in Ireland, you must meet a number of criteria. Here are the basic Ireland permanent residency requirements:

Duration of legal residence: at least 5 years of continuous residence in Ireland under a work permit (for example, Critical Skills Permit or General Work Permit).
Availability of a valid passport and IRP card.
No violations of immigration laws.
Financial stability: proof of income or employment.

If these conditions are met, you can apply to the Department of Justice of Ireland for Long Term Residency or Stamp 4 status - this gives the right to work and live without restrictions.

How to get Stamp 4 in Ireland: step by step

Stamp 4 is the most popular status among foreigners who want to settle in Ireland for a long time. If you are interested in how to get Stamp 4 Ireland, here is a simplified scheme:

Prepare the documents:

Copies of previous visas and permits;
References from the place of work;
Certificate of no criminal record;
Certificate of tax payment (Revenue record);
Completed application form.

Submit an application to the IRP:

All documents are submitted by mail to the Long Term Residency Section in Dublin.

Wait for a decision:

On average, consideration takes 6–8 months. In case of a positive decision, you will receive a new IRP card with Stamp 4 status.
Stamp 4 gives you almost the same rights as Irish citizens: employment opportunities, access to social services and simplified obtaining of Irish citizenship.

Freedom of employment without the need for a sponsoring employer.
The opportunity to open your own business in Ireland.
Access to social programs and state medicine.
The right to family reunification - you can apply for reunification with family members.
Simplified obtaining of citizenship after 5 years with the status of PMP.
No need to renew the work permit - the IRP card with Stamp 4 is renewed, but does not require the permission of the employer.
